ABSTRACT
Table Cloth is an installation built in the courtyard of Schoenberg Hall at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music in Los Angeles. This installation was constructed of a series of custom-fabricated coffee tables and seats complete with conventional table legs. The arrangement of the components on the floor creates a small informal performance space, before launching up into the volume of the courtyard. The manufacturing of these clips can be nested into the cut sheets for each of the tables. The pattern of table straps on ground surface is developed using the functional geometry of a coffee table or stool with a daisy-like pattern in the air. This pattern shifts along its axis, becoming smaller components as it rises into the air. The locations of each connection device are relatively complex. Each ring is defined by the point at which two components touch one another on their tangents.
